The Global Times tabloid, which is affiliated to the People's Daily, said the trade war was a chance to pursue greater global recognition of its financial markets. The yuan is down about 8 percent since Trump ordered tariffs.

And he added that for months the US has urged China to change these unfair practices, and give fair and reciprocal treatment to American companies.
